alright so big update so far, first I will start off with good news, just ran a GT mustang 99-04 model and I beat him by half a car length!!! I didnt realize how fast our cars are!!!

Still thinking about selling the motor = heres why I really want to run lower compression so I can run more boost and its easier to tune.

But if I still install this motor I got a company near buy who will help me do it probably for free... but heres the catch when they get thier dyno in for awd in six months I will have to tune a few evos for him to make up the cost because he doesnt have an evo tuner. But this could also mean I have a side job making more money and it would give me more tools to fix up the lancer.

Still knocking around 8 count "and yes its real I can feel the car pull back power" I need to lower the afrs in the 90-100 load area when it has to restart its power cycle because of gear shifting so I will do that later


Anyone want to buy a motor? If I can sell it I will attempt to build a faster lancer pushing 400-450 hp using pauter/crower rods. I will need to get another transmissionand alot more stuff as well. Do you think I can do it?

 

what are the specs on the motor and how much are you willing to let it go for???

 

ya man.. are cars can be very quick, i ran a chevy 1500 with a vette motor in it with a 150 shot on it the other weekend, it wasnt even a real race. lol i walked him pretty hard.. and i was only at 9psi.. he called BS right when we got to the shop.

 

u got mail

 

Just want to point something out Steven, although its probably real knock, the fact that the car is cutting power does not indicate that its real. Whether the knock is real or phantom the ecu is ALWAYS going to take it as real knock and cut timing accordingly resulting in a loss of power. This annoying factor is why I messed with my knock settings cause even though I confirmed some of my knock was fake my ecu would still cut timing and would hurt my power. So when I adjusted my settings and filtered out some of the fake knock I am able to keep the higher timing without the ecu screwing with my settings lol.

 

well im not going to worry about it right now I will do it later on this month as soon as the engine sells

 

alright last call for built 4G94 motor!!! if you don't claim it by this monday I will just start collecting what I need and attempt to install it that week

 

Damn man if I had the cash for this and the LSD I would need to get any traction in this godforsaken wetland I live in I would buy it in a heartbeat

 

All I want to do is get some crower rods and some lower compression pistons.

if everyone wants to see another beasty lancer like demons, help me out lol

Im going to aim for 400hp and see where that takes me

 

got my 2 step working and it sounds pretty sweet even though the boost builds to 3, its probably the spring. Change in plans installing the motor probably in 3 weeks not enough money...

so in this case if you guys want the pistons and rods seperate I can take those off so its still up for sale until I get all my motor parts, plus I have to get them anyway when I change out my old rods and pistons.

Do I need tranny fluid? not sure if I do since I have to take it off anyways to replace the clutch

 

so Im getting all my parts and fluids together

so far I have

-Dot 4 brake fluid
-50/50 radiator fluid
-All 3 new belts timing, pulley, and serpentine if there not the same
head gasket
-intake gasket - not sure why I got it I dont even think I had to pull out the -intake manifold but might as well replace it anyways
-got my ACT clutch rated to 400 lbs of torque
-need to get ARP moly or can I just use oil for the studs and make life easier so I dont have to wait.

Im also going to fill and flush my transmission fluid as well so everything is fresh in my car.

so im assuming manuals dont have a filter so here are the questions
-so what transmission fluid do you reccomend
-what do I use to flush the tranny
- where do I apply the act grease for my clutch

and is there anything else I need before I attempt the install tomorrow "well hopefully my friend will let me use his engine hoist so I can get the motor out unless you guys think I can get it out with out a hoist"

 

^^use ams oil 75w90 in there. i got it in both cars right now and it shifts nice and als is goon in the rear diff. just open the 24mm drain plug at the bottom of the trans to drain out all the fluid and then put it back in and open the 17mm fill plug and fill to it starts pissin out at ya. stop and let the overfil drain out...

edit found my answer on how many quarts...

so basically I needed an oil reccomendation

 

Yea... Don't do that. It's ARP Moly Fastener Assembly Lube on the studs or don't install them at all. It makes THAT much of a difference.

 

Mailing your spring today. Should be there by thursday or friday.
